Polar and Non Polar Covalent Molecules, Polar vs. Nonpolar - CLEAR & SIMPLE

  • CLEAR & SIMPLE - What is the difference between polar and nonpolar molecules? Check out this video on Molecular Polarity which makes this EASY. Polar and Non Polar Covalent Molecules - This video explains how to determine if a molecule is polar or non polar. I show you how, based on symmetry alone, a molecule can be determined to polar or non polar. Although I show you the shapes of the molecules, it is important for you to be able to classify the shapes according to the VSEPR Theory, so please learn your shapes. The degree of polarity can be determine to a certain extent by the differences in electronegativity, but I don't cover that in this video. Best wishes in learning.

    Because of this video everything about predicting the polarity is crystal clear now! How can I thank you enough?I subscribed and you're my teacher now.

    I didn't understand this lesson in school, but you are the god of chemistry! I fully understand now why is it polar/non-polar! Thanks to you! And I have a test tomorrow, I'll get the full mark! Thank you~

      ***** So glad to hear that this worked. Now that it makes sense, practicing it will seal it in, but it requires time. Best wishes on the test, please let me know how it goes. Peace.

    It took me 4 min in total (2x on the figuring which is the polar or non polar part and skipping some of the explanation at the start) to understands it entirely. This is way better than spending an hour in class, circling around discussion or lecture, doing exercises on your own and to figure out on your own. Great, quick, easy to understand tutorial man. Big thanks!

    After watching dozens of polarity videos on TH-cam, yours is the first one that actually makes sense. Thank you so much!

    Thank you so much! Understanding polarity is easier when someone actually knows what they're talking about.

    Wow...I've been really frustrated cause I couldn't understand this "simple" topic but bumping into this video tonight just saved me totally. Thank you so much for taking your time to explain this topic and i'll keep coming here for help and tell people about this as well.

      Ruby Ben That's awesome to hear. It's a pretty tough concept to grasp, as well as explain. Kudos to you on your effort & understanding.

    This is the only video that helped me. I watched Khan Academy, Crash Course, and the Organic Chem tutor and they all oversimplified this. This is perfect for those of us who do not have electronegativity charts on our exams.

  • @brittiniheminger1627
    @brittiniheminger1627 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thank you SO much! Both my professor and TA at Ohio State could not explain this in a way that made sense, I also watched several other videos on this topic and yours is the only one that made the "lightbulb" turn on for me and I completely understand the the concept now. You are amazing!!!

  • @aaronspears5695
    @aaronspears5695 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    As a teacher who is "flipping" his classroom, I found this video well done and it saved me a ton of time making my own video on the topic. You did a great job explaining a concept that is not always easy to explain. Great job!

    • @sciencepost
      @sciencepost  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks Aaron. I actually spent quite a bit of time planning this video, because it is a difficult topic. Thanks for the feedback and best wishes in the flip!

    @Mj14music 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I just wanted to say thank you for this video. I am doing my online grade twelve Chemistry course and have been struggling for days to make sense of the vector sum thing for the molecular polarity but this makes it much easier. Thank you for helping me pass my class. Your awesome. I will definitely be referring to more of your videos from now on.

  • @kayleetraceemae
    @kayleetraceemae 9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    As a bio major, taking my first bio course, & never taking chem, I struggled with polarity. I browsed about 10 dif vids before finding this one. Awesome. Made it so simple. Thank you!! Will definitely be watching your other videos.

    • @sciencepost

  • @Ruddigore
    @Ruddigore 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Clear, simple and perhaps the best video I have watched on this subject. I would like to say that this will help in my exams but I'm 65 years of age so no it won't. However, though I left school 48 years ago I still thirst for knowledge and thanks to you I now have a much better understanding of molecular polarity.

  • @michelleangus6164
    @michelleangus6164 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Shelley, I can completely relate to being a non-traditional student. All the kids in my classes are at least 10 years (if not more) younger than I am. I definitely know that it takes a lot of extra work to be successful when you're not fresh out of high school. I commend you for you hard work and never give up, it will be more challenging but it is possible!!!!
